Chicken Myths/Rumors: True or False, Please Share!

[-Shade-]

Roosters only crow at daybreak.

I believe this is false. My roosters crow multiple times throughout the day, especially in the evening. One time while we were camping in the backyard we heard them starting up around 2 A.M.

Someone once told me that they had 4 hens and got over a dozen eggs a day. I didn't ask how this was. I had no intention of continuing a conversation with crazy.

They probably got a dozen eggs a day, once a week.

Easy, four from the coop and a dozen from the grocery store. Thats how you get over a dozen eggs a day with 4 hens.

That's amazing. Your chicken is genius.

Yep, I applied for her to be accepted at MIT, but haven't received a response, yet. I am confident, though.

Sometimes you can learn from other people if you honestly listen to them, ask questions, and don't automatically rule out what they are saying. Now my avatar is not playing beethoven, but when miss Bea played twinkle twinkle little star on that piano no one had a doubt that she was smart.(ok, it was only 6 or 7 notes of the song, but stiil... I couldn't teach my kids that much. They just didn't want to do it) When I watch chickens undoing latches to get into boxes, I don't have a doubt they're smart also. Maybe your chickens have just been conditioned to not show you how smart that are. Lol, not wanting you to make a fortune off them I'm sure.

I do not sell chickens nor eggs nor anything. They are mine and mine along for my enjoyment and to care for them. Hope to see your name in a huge billboard across USA or KY when I go down to Florida!
The only thing is that chickens are chickens and the are wired to be chickens. They can solve problems they encounter but does not mean that they are smart. Wrong word Americans are so addapted to use. So addapted that they put signs in their cars to be-little and boast about themselves and their children. Complete discrimation. That is what everything in this world is! Pure Discrimination and absolute supremacy towards others, yet including any race, color and gender. Self selfishness.

Go ahead and say things and only to me and not to others. I was comdemned but the one that instigating, does not. Seems like I am living in the south in the 1800

Am I the only one completely confused by that rambling rant?
I’m not certain of the purpose of it.

I wish they would be disturbed and even scared by watchng butcher day. I have to keep chasing them out of the gut bucket or chase them off the ones bleeding out. Voracious little dinos.

I snatched one of the spare roosters out of the pen and took it to my butcher station. What I didn't notice was the rest of the flock clustered up against the fence, watching. When the machete came down and the head came off, I heard all the chicken spectators squawk in a unison of alarm.

I'm pretty sure I learned a curse word in chickenese.

Go to their site and it is right there at the bottom. I know you probably have no clue but on the internet there is too much information and a lot of it might not be from respectable sources. Everything needs to be found to make sure we understand what is real and what is not. A lot of people think that wikipedia is reliable and it is not. So no, I did not rant sweety, I just copied from the same source their own disclaimer. By the way, nice meme. Is she in Pj's? in a cooking show? funny!
